Bearing shields and seals protect the bearing from dirt and liquid that can cause increased wear. Shields will keep out larger particles, whereas seals will keep out finer debris. BNL shielded and sealed bearings are a lightweight and more cost-effective solution than steel equivalents, which are often over-specified and overly expensive for many products.

BNL offer a machine tear down service, where we will examine your product for ways in which our plastic bearings can benefit the performance and efficiency of your product.
